Pasta and noodles!

I’m no vegan pasta extraordinaire, but I do appreciate a good bowl of noodles.The possibilities are limitless when you think of all the various sauces and add-ins you can combine into a delicious meal.And pasta can be as complicated or as simple as you want it to be.

Here’s a bowl of spiral pasta with chickpeas and broccoli.I quickly whipped together a garlic-lemon cream sauce to pour over the whole thing.

This is a bowl of gnocchi with sautéed green beans, capsicum, and tomato.There was also a bit of fresh basil mixed through, and a squeeze of lemon juice added just before serving.(Lemons and limes are on special at the moment, so they’re showing up a lot.)

Soba noodles, made from buckwheat, taste great with nutty sauces.Here I’ve tossed them with a tahini-lime sauce and paired them with stir-fried broccoli, capsicum, carrot and wombok.

Haha yes, Romina IS the vegan pasta extraordinaire, for sure (glad you linked to her blog!); and your pasta dishes look great as well! My favorite way to eat noodles is topped with LOADS of fresh vegetables, and homemade tomato sauce or pesto. Yum!
